I would give this 5 stars except that I bought a black hood pulled it out of the package at a show and put it on my Paint horse. In the morning I was shocked to find all his White markings and white bands had a grey tint. The black dye rubbed off on him. I washed it and tried again it still bled a little, hopefully a second wash will solve the problem.

This is used to train manes, protect banding and braids at show. It is thicker for cooler weather but ok if you have your horse in the stall with fans. The white mesh one is nice for spring/summer. I use mine with their blanket in really cold weather. I also use it at shows to protect their mane and keep them clean.Sent from my iPhone

This is for use as a light summer hood to keep braids and bands neat before a show, helps lay the mane down and keep face and neck clean.

The purpose of this product is twofold. First, a show horse will wear thisto keep his mane lying down overnight so it looks good (and clean) at theshow the next day. It may also be used to protect the horse during shippingor as an added layer when it's very cold. In most cases the horse wouldonly wear it from evening , overnight, then it would be removed sometimethe next morning.

You could use this at horse shows when a horse is braided or to keep to keep them cleaner. Some people use them under other blankets in colder weather as well. Normally they are used for a few hours at a time or overnight depending on the situation.
